By General Aviation News Staff · May 14, 2020 ·

In light of the safety issues surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak, ASA has prepared a document outlining how to clean and disinfect books and pilot supplies.

The free ASA InFO (Information for Operators) document provides recommendations for the HS-1A AirClassics Headset, CX-3 Flight Computer, Flight Timer 2, and all ASA books, E6-B Flight Computers, plotters, and The Standard series logbooks.

This document also includes resources and additional guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

“Please read and pass this document on to pilots and mechanics to ensure that they have the information needed to practice safe handling procedures,” ASA officials said. “Aviators are looking for this guidance as businesses begin reopening and flight operations resume.”
